Yesterday the Hollywood-backed group announced another victory after obtaining ex-parte injunctions<\/a> against three members of the torrent release group 2Lions-Team.<\/p>\n The three are prohibited from infringing any copyrights of BREIN members in the future, or face a fine of \u20ac2,000 per day.<\/p>\n BREIN also reached out of court settlements of roughly \u20ac15,000 with five 2Lions-Team members (including the three defendants), for a total damages amount of \u20ac67,500.<\/p>\n 2Lions-Team has uploaded thousands of files to popular torrent sites including The Pirate Bay, KickassTorrents and ExtraTorrent. The group published a wide variety of titles including movies and TV-shows such as The Revenant, Making a Murderer, The Walking Dead, as well as several local titles.<\/p>\n According to BREIN the group is responsible for uploading thousands of torrents, some of which were downloaded over 470,000 times<\/a>. As part of the settlements, most torrents have now been pulled offline.<\/p>\n Indeed, several “2lionsteam” related accounts and their torrents have now been deleted<\/a> from The Pirate Bay, ExtraTorrent and other sites. <\/p>\n 2Lions-Team on TPB before it was removed)<\/strong> The release group’s own website<\/a> is no longer functioning either, but points to a messages from BREIN instead.<\/p>\n “Making copyrighted works available through torrents is an unauthorized reproduction and publication which infringes on the copyrights and related rights of BREIN affiliated rightsholders,” the message reads.<\/p>\n Judging from recent BREIN pursuits, the anti-piracy group is not interested in bankrupting any of the uploaders. For the level of the settlements in this case, BREIN says it took the financial capabilities of the 2Lions-Team into account as well.<\/p>\n Over the past several months BREIN has been pursuing uploaders more aggressively and this trend is expected to continue. <\/p>\n Last week the anti-piracy group was granted permission to monitor IP-addresses<\/a> of torrent users on a broad scale, suggesting that it will also target individual BitTorrent users who share pirated content on a regular basis. <\/p>\n Update:<\/strong> We’ve clarified that there are five settlements. The fines in the ex-parte order only apply if the defendants continue their work.<\/p>\n Source: TF<\/a>, for the latest info on copyright, file-sharing, torrent sites<\/a> and ANONYMOUS VPN services<\/a>.<\/p>\n Dutch anti-piracy outfit BREIN has been very active recently, targeting various release groups that frequent popular torrent sites.
